Meet Pepe Billete, Miami's Cuban Puppet Gone Viral

​​There are a few different reasons that will make a video go viral. One, the content is dumb (see "What, What? In my Butt"). Two, there are people in the video getting hurt (see any skater blooper videos). And three, the video is fucking hilarious (intentionally).

Escoria Films, a local outfit run by a Cuban known as Pepe Billete, produces the latter. First, you should know that the word escoria is a Cuban slang term for lowlife. Second, billete is Cuban slang term for cash money. Third, Pepe is a funny bastard. And a puppet.

Pepe's videos touch on the reality of Miami life -- you know, parties, bitches, and cocaine abuse. Some of the most popular videos include a dubbed version of a Rick Ross video and Pepe's recent Miami Heat Fight Song (posted after jump). We spoke to Pepe about La Carreta v. Versailles, Uncle Luke, and the Cuban Army of Independence.

New Times: What part of Miami do you live in?

Pepe Billete: Bueno, I have quatro condominios in the most important spots in Miami -- downtown, Miami Beach, Hialeah, and Coral Gables.
